Last weekend, my friends and I decided to escape the city and went to the Pyrenees for a short getaway. We packed our bags, loaded up the car and set off early in the morning, eager to reach our destination. Upon arriving at our cozy cabin, we quickly settled in and planned our activities for the weekend. On the first day, we went for a complex climb, breathing in the crisp mountain air. In the afternoon, we visited a nearby lake and spent hours swimming, kayaking, and soaking up the sun on the shore.

As we prepared our things and headed back to the city, we felt grateful for the incredible memories we made in the beautiful Pyrenees.
